Things to know before starting/posting your profile
- Originality is one of the key words at our roleplay. We love original characters, we don't want to see five of the same characters. This also means there will be restrictions on occupations which aren't that common, like companions etc.
- Have a look in the list of characters and open positions before making a character. Maybe there's a spot open to your liking! There's several options like being a crewmember/passenger on a ship or living in a frontier planet!
- The RP is post-Miranda, set in late 2518.
- No Mary Sue/Gary Stu characters, they'll be rejected right away!
- Remember the setting of this RPG, we are mainly focussed on life on the outer rim, life there is hard, (doesn't mean you need to get overly dramatic histories). But life isn't easy, you have to work hard for bread on the table.
- The staff holds their right to ask for changes in the application, if we feel the need. But we allow freedom, and won't ask you to change anything unless it really does not fit within our rules/guidelines or the RP's setting.
- I believe that a character application is never really finished. As you RP, you discover more about your character, you reveal more history, more personality. So just keep in mind this will never be a final application sheet, you can develop it as you RP. Add to it while you discover and play with your character. This does not mean we'll be content with a profile with only a few sentences per description.
- Use the application form located in the code so you won't forget the coding ^^
- The options we have at this moment are being a crew/passengers aboard either of the two ships, or living in the town Ol'Hall (on the planet Newhall). This so characters don't get scattered across the universe. As we grow, our possibilities will expand also! If you are confused by this, just pm a staffie!
- Remember the general timeline of events, as the war would have affected everybody:
Early 2505: There is a call for settlers on Miranda, a world at the far edge of the system. Mid 2506: Beginning of Unification War Late 2506: The Alliance sends a team to investigate what happened on Miranda after loosing contact, but they are all killed on the planet. The Alliance suppresses the secret of their failed experiment on Miranda, along with any record on the Cortex of the planet's existence. Rumour spreads that Miranda is a black rock, where the terraforming didn't hold, and that just a few settlers died. 2507 to 2510: Merciless cannibalistic killers known as Reavers begin appearing at the edges of the system. People don't know their origins, the general populace comes to think of this as the natural consequence of humanity pushing out further every year. 2511:Unification War Ended: (Alliance won, browncoats (independents) were defeated) Mid 2518: Word of Miranda got out: Late 2518: Now
Some stuff that we won't allow: River like characters (no phrases or words that make your character going on killing sprees.) No supernatural powers (these are still humans after all). No survivors of Miranda (thats just not possible, they either died or became reavers). And for now we don't allow Alliance soldiers or high officials or the like. You can however be on the Alliance's side.
Also when you have something 'special' in mind, its more likely that you get accepted if you contact us first if your idea is okay. This also counts for the more important positions (like sheriff, there's already a deputy so your character has to fit within the story that's going on already, you can't go changing the timeline of the deputy with your character so to say or how the town is run at this moment). That was of course an example, but hope you catch our drift. It's not that we want to decide everything for you, we wanna make sure everything fits within the roleplay.
